Basescu got a Plot of Land on the Moon as a Present

Traian Basescu, sBucharest mayor and candidate of the main opposition alliance for the presidencyt, is the owner of a plot of land on the Moon since Thursday evening. His colleagues in the National Liberal Party & Democrat Party Alliance gave him this present on the occasion of his birthday.

Representatives of the embassies and of the business community attended the party. The party organizers managed to determine a member of the French embassy to take part in introducing to the audience the Alliance’s candidate and its governing program, though Basescu recently made uncomplimentary remarks towards a visiting French minister.

Basescu accepted the ownership papers for the plot on the Moon, saying he has no intention on visiting the place. "I am sure the people in the srulingt Social Democrat Party would like to see me out there, but this will be the only plot of land I would give as a present to Adrian Nastase sPM and also competitor for the presidencyt," said Basescu.

Other public figures owning a plot on the Moon are Gigi Becali and Dumitru Sechelariu. Basescu received other presents like the latest model of an electronic agenda, a set of Mont Blanc fountain-pens - his favorites - and a lot of hot red chili peppers sa hint at one of the slogans in the local elections campaign which got him reelected as Bucharest mayort.

Basescu was wearing his wife’s present on him: a brand-new suit and a necktie which for once it had a properly tied knot. His daughter, Ioana, welcomed him at the door of the venue with a white rose and a small bag with her present for him in her hands. The birthday cake had just the right kind of shape: it was a huge raft sa reminder of the original profession of Basescu: ship captaint.
